ENGLISH
disposed of correctly. Contact your reseller or competent organizations in your area for information about waste collection centres, recycling and disposal.
DO NOT ABBANDON THE PACKAGING MATERIAL OR PARTS OF IT. THEY MAY CREATE A SUFFOCATION DANGER FOR CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY PLASTIC BAGS.
Even your old appliance must be disposed of properly, this will contribute to avoiding negative envi-ronmental and health consequences, that would occur as a result of improper disposal.
IMPORTANT: this appliance cannot be treated as household waste. Deliver the old appliance to the local company that is authorised to collect appliances that are no longer in use. A proper disposal makes an intelligent recovery of precious materials. It is also necessary to cut the cable connecting to the power mains and remove it along with the plug.
4. Know your appliance
All drawings relating to the Foster cooker hobs manufactured today, are at the end of this manual, Gas cooker hobs summary [Page 213].
We ask that you recognise the drawing of the cooker hob you have purchased to familiarise with the main technical-functional features.
For research practicality the cooker hobs are distinguished in two macro-families:
t Traditional built-in cooker hobs: “8 mm edge”, “Q4 edge” and “semi-flush edge”;
t Flush built-in cooker hobs: “flush-mount” edge.
Regardless of the type of edge, the first group has a simple traditional built-in hole. The cooker hobs with "flush-mount" edge have a more detailed drawing to enable realisation of the "made to measure" hole, or having a step necessary to house the edge of the cooker hub so it is "flush" with the worktop.
Numbers in correspondence with the burners are present in all drawings. Such numbers identify the type of burner. To know the powers of the burners of the gas cooker hub you purchased, refer to read-ing the powers table dependread-ing on the type of gas used [Page 213].
ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
5. First installation
Do not leave packaging material waste unguarded in the household environment.
Separate the various packaging waste materials and deliver them to the closest selective waste collection centres.
In order to remove all manufacturing residues, we recommend cleaning the appliance.
For further information on cleaning see Chapter 15 [Page 38].
6. Positioning in the work top
This built-in cooker hob is of Class 3.
The following interventions require masonry and/or carpentry work and must there-fore be completed by a competent technician. Installation can be completed on dif-ferent materials, such as masonry, metal, solid wood and plastic laminated wood, as long as it is heat resistant (T 100°C).
6.1 Installation on the support structure (worktop) of a traditional built-in cooker hob (8 mm edge, Q4 edge, semi-flush edge)
Cut an opening on the top surface of the cabinet with the dimensions and position indicated here below and represented in the drawing [Fig. 2].
The dimensions of the built-in hole are shown in the Gas cooker hobs sum-mary - models with traditional built-in [Page 213], in correspondence of the drawing of the purchased cooker hob.

t Carefully position the supplied in-sulating gasket along the external perimeter of the hole created on the worktop, trying to make it adhere along the entire surface by slightly pressing it by hand [Fig. 4].
t Once these operations have been completed, use the supplied brack-ets to fasten the hob to the structure.
Refer to the “Fastening the cook-er hob to the cabinet” paragraph
[Page 27]. Fig. 4: positioning the insulating gasket
6.2 Installation on the support structure (worktop) of a flush built-in cooker hob (flush-mount edge)
This type of appliance requires milling on the 1.5 mm deep worktop, which measurements are indicated in the top drawing, identifiable in the section Gas cooker hobs summary - models with "flush" built-in [Page 213].
The step is necessary to house the cooker hub edge so that it is "flush" with the worktop.
ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS
t Accurately clean milling.
t Before positioning the top, lay the sealer gasket provided on the entire milling surface [Fig. 5].
t Once these operations have been completed, use the supplied brackets to fasten the hob to the structure. Re-fer to the “Fastening the cooker hob to the cabinet” paragraph [Page 27].
Fig. 5: positioning the insulating gasket
A constant light of at least 0.5 mm is envisioned between the external dimensions of the stainless steel platform and the internal dimensions of the lowering that must be respected during assembly. The temperatures that develop during use of the cooker hub induce a slight elongation on the stainless steel platform, therefore, the envisioned light enables avoiding any interferences. With regard to the kitchen worktop, the temperatures induced by the cooker hub - whether in the section and on the contact top - are very contained.
We recommend assembling the cooker hubs with flush-mount edge on water-repel-lent materials.
7. Fastening the cooker hob to the cabinet
Fasten the supplied hooks to the brackets under the appliance, as shown here below.
The supplied hooks make it possible to fasten to a top whose thickness is between 30 and 40 mm.
IMPORTANT:
t For fastening this product to the support structure, the use of mechanical or electric screwdrivers is not recommended and only moderate pressure must be exerted by hands to the clamping parts.
t The surface under the appliance must be at at least 5 mm from the bottom of it and must have an opening for passing gas and electric conduit that is at least 50x50 mm.
t If this product is installed above an oven, it must be equipped with a cooling fan.
